 heart-shaped, compressed; suture shallow; stem long, slender; cavity deep, narrow; skin 

 rich dark red, almost black, slightly roughened; flesh rather tender, purplish, juicy, sweet; 

 of high quaHty; stone of mediimi size; productive.

In 1 79 1, Truchsess received grafts of what he thought were several distinct varieties 

 and disseminated them as such. Later, they were found to be identical with the Dan- 

 kelmann. The fruit is recognized from others of its class by its small size, its honey 

 sweetness, its peculiar color and its transparent skin. Fruit more round than cordate, with 

 a shallow suture; stem slender, inserted in a narrow, shallow cavity; skin yellow washed 

 with red, transparent allowing the pit to be visible; flesh yellowish-white, tender, very 

 juicy, very sweet if ripened thoroughly ; stone small, round, almost free when ripe ; season 

 the last of June to July.
